02Density altitude and turboprop runway margins

Standard temperature at 475 ft is about 14°C. Every 1,000 ft of density altitude adds roughly 8 percent to a turboprop's takeoff distance and 5 percent to its landing distance. The table uses Piper Meridian book numbers (2,438 ft takeoff and 2,110 ft landing over a 50 ft obstacle at sea level, ISA, max weight) as a reference airplane; heavier turboprops and light jets scale the same way from their own POH figures.

Conditions	Density altitude	Takeoff est.	Landing est.	Landing × 1.5
Standard day (ISA, 14°C)	475 ft	2,531 ft	2,160 ft	3,240 ft
Warm day (ISA +10)	1,675 ft	2,765 ft	2,287 ft	3,430 ft
Hot day (ISA +20)	2,875 ft	2,999 ft	2,413 ft	3,620 ft
35°C afternoon	2,989 ft	3,021 ft	2,425 ft	3,638 ft

Planning aid only. Even on a 35°C afternoon the longest runway (15/33, 5,196 ft) covers a Meridian-class turboprop's landing distance with a 50 percent margin (3,638 ft needed). The percentages are a generic rule of thumb applied to one reference airplane, not certified performance data for any specific aircraft, and the runway size categories describe the runway, not your airplane's suitability. Verify with the approved flight manual before every flight.

03Nearby fields with 5,000 ft or more

Useful as alternates, as fuel stops when the price at KFZY is high, or as the longer runway on a hot afternoon.

04Jet A prices and FBOs at KFZY

No public API publishes FBO fuel prices, so JetDesk does not guess. Pilots and crews log the price they actually paid at KFZY, the app flags a price stale after two weeks, and the route finder ranks every field within a corridor of your route by net savings after the cost of the extra cycle. Log a price at KFZY or read what a fuel stop actually saves.
